EDM 310's First Podcast Production and Its Critique

On October 16 the EDM 130 class produced our first pod casts. The class was grouped in groups of three. Each group was assigned a topic to research and present that night.

I was nervous about presenting the material in front of my class, but the thought of our first podcast being put on the web for anyone to hear was even more intimidating. My group, which discussed blogs and their usefulness in the classroom, was selected to go first. When we started our voices were a bit shaky, but as time went on we warmed up and became more at ease. Dr. Strange told us we did a good job for our first time but that I would need to learn to talk louder.

Our class produced about seven podcast in all that night. Some were longer than others, and each was unique in its own way. We could have improved our pod casts by shortening some of the presentations, adding more interesting information to some and rehearsing what we were going to say more. Over all, I think our class did well.

Dr. Strange was impressed with your group. The group did a very good job at being "conversational", at least more that some other groups. I firmly believe that practice is the key. Keep up the good work. Everyone did a good job for their first podcast.
